would you consider The Main Character from Will Wood as a theme song for Bravo? have a lovely rest of your day!

oughhhh i can definitely see how it applies to his character and arc, the lines “'cause if you shake your fist at snakes in grass it looks like punching down” and “villains are everywhere, that's how I know that I'm the hero” fit bravo to a T 👀👀 i do think it’s too stark of a genre difference from the rest of his playlist for it to fit in there, but i’m glad u shared it <3 gonna be musing over this one…

(a hels to pay ask if you're still answering asks related to hels to pay) does bigb have an established hels? if he does, is there any thoughts about what his role (if he has one) in hels is or his negative trait from bigb? Also his name, I could only think of littledd4ta1 (instead of bigbst4tz2) have a wonderful week!

hello there, i’m still answering htp asks! i just haven’t gotten any recently prob cuz i haven’t been posting much (i’ve also saved some for drabbles i haven’t written yet LOL) but rest assured, htp is always on the back burner.

gotta admit, i’ve tried to come up w a hels for bigb before but i’m sorely lacking in bigb knowledge. i don’t watch his vids, i only see him in the other lifer’s povs. but the impression i get of him is that he is fairly reserved and mild mannered, often a loner doing his own thing due to passiveness but remains open and friendly to other’s interactions when they occur, has a generally humorous/good-natured disposition without being excessively goofy, but also has a bit of a weird streak that, when indulged, baffles everyone in the most fantastic way. his commitment to the bit in secret life was admirable. good at improv, not great at pvp.

so ultimately i’m not sure if his hels would be more interesting as an opposite (very social, active, loud, in-your-face) or an extreme (wildly eccentric quasi-enlightened loner). ultimately, i’d want to nail down one or two defining personality traits for him before making that decision.

but i like that name idea! i’d prob tweak it to ‘lil’ instead of ‘little’ to keep the syllables more in line, and sub in ‘facts’ (f4ctz) for ‘stats’ for the same reason. and i might keep the b but make it big (B) for irony. lilBf4ctz1, lilB for short.

open call for bigb fans: please share ur knowledge with me for characterization purposes 🙏

Too Many Tangos? Sounds like a good problem to have if you ask me!

I'm still trying to figure out how I want to draw this guy :3 Everyone is so creative!!! I don't have a solid sense of art style and BOY this sure is a tricky balancing act between "creature" and "just-some-guy." So while exploring, I decided to just draw a bunch of other folks' designs for him! These aren’t all 1:1 copies but I loved exploring everyone’s ideas and adapting them to the way I draw :D

I wasn't able to include all the designs I wanted to. I really wanted to throw some deepfrost tangos in here, but that would have drawing multiple per-person (and I already feel like I didn't include enough people). My little wrists can only handle so much ;n; maybe one day I'll do a sequel and/or deepfrost version!!

Everyone's Tumblrs: Koji @kojitheopossum, Leo @l3o-draws, Fence @fence-time, Yago @wasyago, Chiffon @horrormoviez, Danny @beefonts, Soy @tigerbaulm, Doody @kitsuneisi, Eydi @eydilily, and Mel @lunarcrown

there’s so much I could say about each and every one of your designs but for the sake of brevity, they are awesome! Thank you for gracing the world with these artistic endeavors :D I had a lot of fun drawing them!

[aquaquadrant]

I’m really sorry if this is a silly question or has already been answered elsewhere, but what are hels? I know they are counter parts to hermits but where do they come from? Sorry still new

Welcome in welcome in!!!!

Hels are a concept actually coined way back with Welsknight! I’m going to link you to an answer that Aqua did a while back just bc she had wayyy more info on it that’s much more concise than my rambling would be~~

HERE YOU GOOO!! Link to Hels info deliciousness~

Aqua and I try really hard to bring this up every so often bc we don’t want people to think we invented hels as a concept and that fans need to credit us if they make one, bc it’s been around for EVER!!!!! (Though we DO love seeing peoples hels concepts for their own characters if they wanna show us!! We just don’t want them to think we ‘own the idea’ in any way shape or form!)

Aqua of course did a TON of heavy lifting fleshing out the world and concept according to our story though, but yeah!!

I am so insanely crazy about your Tango. Good lord he is so scrunkly. Love the piercings love the eyebrow slits love the ears love his blushy face and the way you draw his mouth all wavy it is very satisfying. I am not an artist I don’t know the words but This Tango is MY FAV TANGO <333

You are so so so so kiiiind!!!!! I love all those things too!!

Honestly what’s hard is that I want to put SO MUCH on tango’s design bc he’s my fave fave FAVE and then sometime i forget bits when I draw him bc I put too much little details HAHAH

Anyways I’m honored he’s a fave of yours, I love having a tango out there with all the other super cool designs in this fandom~~

heeeeeeyy :) im currently reading your natures selection fic and i just wanted to say that i LOVE the inclusion of disability rep!!! i'm currently trying to get tested for hearing loss (ben), i have mental disabilities (darius) and i have fucked up joints (yaz) so this fic is so comforting <3 also i LOVE the found family inclusion. herd camp fam my beloved /pospospos hope you are well :D

srry for the late reply but THANK YE i’m glad ur enjoying it!! i’ve always been of the opinion that the campers got off scott free considering they spent six months on an island full of loose dinosaurs, tho ofc they were restricted by the whole ‘kids show’ thing to not harm them too much. so i figured putting them on that island for three years would definitely leave its mark on them (physical and mental).

it was a tricky balance to strike tbh, part of me wanted to go bigger but i had to be practical about what kind of injuries a dinosaur could deal out without actually killing them, especially considering they’re on a deserted island with no medical care. so like, kenji’s mauling was the farthest i could go for a direct big dino attack, rather than have any major things like losing a limb. tho if i’d started the series after chaos theory came out, i def would’ve included brooklynn’s arm somehow (side note: now that i’m determined to carry the series thru to the chaos theory timeline and plot, i may have to revisit that…)

anyway, it means a lot to hear that you took comfort in the fic, best of luck w everything <3

The final stand

[aquaquadrant]

i had images in my mind and they did not account for the fact that my mothers would break up, so we're ignoring that and having buff sammy (ft. live yaz reaction) and cuddles

i am not in mourning for they've sorted their issues and are together still. say it with me

Sketch redeem for nublarsix over on twitch-- they asked for a little toxic soyona santos x handler, so who was I to refuse ehe

[aquaquadrant]

THE BOY IS HERE!! (3D printed with modified sculpt with epoxy and hand painted)

Process below cut:

I grabbed a "Smoothie" FBX from one of our designers back when I was at DreamWorks (sorry, I know, immediately this isn't accessible 😂), but the file was actually baby Bumpy with the asymmetrical horns, so I smoothed (heh) his horns and sent him in for approval at the Octavia Lab at the Los Angeles Public Library, where he could be printed.

Thanks to the lab I got him printed for free after a week! (Parking cost me $8 though so no thanks 😭😭)

His bumps are kind of messed up, so I used epoxy to fix most of them.

Then I used a spray paint primer and a "montserrat" color spray paint as base -- this is the step I did about 3 times over because I was inexperienced, and the spray paint came out too thick/cracked several times, after which I learned to use strong nail polish remover to strip away all the spray paint. I'm sure I breathed in about 12 different kinds of harmful chemicals during this but it was worth it

After I was finally able to get a proper flat coat, I started hand painting with acrylics, and gradient/details with dry brush ground up dry pastel. It took a rewatch of Puss in Boots 2, Conclave, Madagascar, and many more

After all the painting is finished, I coated the entire thing with a matte finish first, and then his nails and beak with a gloss finish! (pic 2: doing his nails 💅)

Next step is trying to learn to knit to knit him a little hat......
